After hearing this, Li Yunlong flew into a rage and said, "Old Xu, I now suspect that you are in cahoots with Zhu Ziming. Didn't we investigate the matter of the Third Battalion before? You investigated it yourself, you bastard. Now you overturn the previous investigation conclusion. How can I trust you?"
"This traitor Zhu Ziming holds many secrets of the Independent Regiment. Once they are leaked to the devils, it will bring a huge crisis to the Independent Regiment. Especially since Zhu Ziming was responsible for the defense of the base and knows the situation of the base very well. If I let him continue to roam around outside, I will have to open one eye at night. There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. This time I plan to beat Zhu Ziming to death with a stick!"
"As for the matter of the Third Battalion, I will send someone to investigate again. I will never wrongly accuse a good person, nor will I let a bad person go. There were indeed many strange things about the Third Battalion being surrounded by the Japanese. Your suspicion is not unreasonable. After I go back, I will arrange for someone to transfer Wang Manning away from the arsenal and let him be responsible for the training of the militia. As for how to deal with it in the end, we will wait for the results of the investigation."
Xu Zhongyi did not refute. After all, he had not produced any evidence so far. It was just some specious guesses, which really could not convince people. He could only give Li Yunlong a reminder and let him investigate secretly.
For safety reasons, Xu Zhongyi specifically instructed: "Old Li, you must be cautious when investigating this matter. You must not leak the news and alert the enemy. If Wang Manning is really a traitor, once he senses the danger, he is likely to make a desperate move and use all his strength in the independent regiment, which is likely to cause huge losses to the base. This matter must be prevented!"
Li Yunlong nodded in the dark. With the expansion of the troops in recent days, it is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will sneak in. It can be seen from the more than 20 insiders from other forces caught by Lao Ding that many people are eyeing the Independent Regiment, especially the Zhangjiazhuang market has become a hen that lays golden eggs. He doesn't know how many people are jealous of the Independent Regiment. This was also within his previous expectations. It seems that he must strengthen counter-espionage work after returning, and must not let those spies who have sneaked in to destroy the hard-earned stability of the base.
"Lao Xu, I can't give you an answer about the assassination attempt on Zhu Ziming for the time being. I need to make a decision after an on-site investigation! You sent me a message before, asking me to hurry to Ping'an County. Could it be that someone has something important to discuss?" Li Yunlong asked curiously.
Xu Zhongyi cleared his throat and said with a serious face: "Old Li, the situation is indeed a bit complicated now. This morning, Nakamura Ichiro came to the restaurant to find me to talk about the Zhangjiazhuang market. He wanted to take all the sulfa drugs in the market, but he was only willing to pay 10% of the market price. He had no good intentions. I suspect he wants to take this opportunity to attack me, and even the drug issue is a cover. I have delayed for three days and plan to take this opportunity to escape from Ping'an County. I need your help in the process!"
Li Yunlong didn't expect Xu Zhongyi to be targeted, and asked seriously, "Old Xu, tell me everything you two talked about today in detail, so that I can make a correct judgment and see what Nakamura Ichiro is up to."
Xu Zhongyi repeated the conversation with Nakamura Ichiro from the beginning to the end. Even if there were some discrepancies in the middle, it would not affect the result. After listening to it, Li Yunlong fell into deep thought. Nakamura Ichiro's words sounded intimidating, but in fact, they further confirmed his guilty conscience.
Li Yunlong replied with a smile on his face: "Lao Xu, you are scared by Nakamura Ichiro. He came here to warn you on purpose today, wanting to put you under great psychological pressure and force me to agree to his conditions. You don't have to be afraid of him. The medicine is in my hands. If you don't follow my requirements, even the king of heaven can't stop you!"
"Not to mention this medicine, it's the flagship product of our independent regiment, a powerful weapon to deal with the enemy's blockade. How could I give up my martial arts? Besides, Ichiro Nakamura has connections in the Kwantung Army, so he has no control over the 12th Army. He was deliberately trying to intimidate you today, and you almost fell into his trap."
"According to my estimation, Ichiro Nakamura has sent people to keep a close eye on you. There will even be people guarding the city gates. If you dare to leave the city, you will be caught immediately. You must not be timid at this time. Instead, you must become arrogant. The profit of medicines is very huge. Money can attract people. I estimate that even the 12th Army is very jealous of this huge wealth. This is why the devils did not send troops to attack the Zhangjiazhuang market after I sold the medicines!"
"After all, the Japanese are not fools. If they dare to send troops to attack Zhangjiazhuang Market, I will blow up the drug production line and prevent the Japanese from getting any anti-inflammatory drugs. Not to mention that even if they take over Zhangjiazhuang Market, the Japanese high-ranking officials will not gain any benefits. It is better to let Zhangjiazhuang Market exist. They can send merchants who are dependent on them to resell drugs and make huge profits!"
"Of course, this matter can only be carried out in private. As long as no one makes it known, the Japanese will pretend to be unaware of it. Once the Japanese leaders get a taste of the sweetness, they will intentionally or unintentionally ensure the stability of the Zhangjiazhuang market. This is actually good news for the independent regiment."
"According to my estimation, this situation can be maintained for half a year without any problem. If it is longer, it will be difficult to conceal. My previous plan was to do business for half a year, which can greatly alleviate the shortage of supplies in the independent regiment!"
After listening to Li Yunlong's explanation of the inside story, Xu Zhongyi finally straightened his back. He was really frightened by Nakamura Ichiro before and almost fell into his trap. Now that he learned the truth from Li Yunlong, all his worries disappeared.
"Lao Xu, you can tell Ichiro Nakamura that for the sake of your relationship, I can sell him 50% of the medicines. The items to be traded must be food and copper, nothing else. If he doesn't agree, then we won't do this business!" Li Yunlong said very firmly.
Xu Zhongyi nodded, and did not refute Li Yunlong's arrangement. Instead, he agreed and said, "If we didn't want to lose Nakamura Ichiro, there would be no need to let him take 50% of the medicine. But when I think about the fact that we still have to buy some of our supplies through him, and that he has been engaged in the intelligence trading business these days, I really want to cut off contact with him. This dandy boy is really too evil, and he always wants to take more and more. He is even more cruel than you, Li Yunlong!"
Li Yunlong understood Xu Zhongyi's insinuation, but he didn't care. He had cheated Xu Zhongyi before, so it didn't matter to him that he let him take advantage of him. Besides, it wasn't all his fault that he cheated Xu Zhongyi. If Xu Zhongyi hadn't provided wrong information, his Second Battalion wouldn't have suffered such a serious loss. This was why Xu Zhongyi didn't dare to trouble Li Yunlong about this matter. The reason he gave was really untenable.
"Lao Xu, I have explained everything to you clearly. Take a good rest and don't think about contacting me. If I need anything, I will contact you!"
Li Yunlong gave his final instructions and left the backyard with the monk and Duan Peng. Listening to the slight noise coming from outside, Xu Zhongyi continued to lie on the bed and fell asleep. In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the insider planted by Ichiro Nakamura, Xu Zhongyi quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Mitsui Ippei, who was far away in Taiyuan City, became serious when he learned that medicines were being sold at Zhangjiazhuang Market. The medicine business was very profitable, and he was determined to get involved. Originally, Mitsui Ippei did not want to stay in Taiyuan City for long, and did not want to have a conflict of interest with other people, but when he thought of the huge profits hidden in the medicines, he could not help but want to take a hand.
"Taro, what do you think about this? Should we get involved in this business?" Mitsui Ippei asked in a testing manner.
As one of the heirs of the family, Mitsui Taro came to Taiyuan City three days ago, mainly to check the family business. When he heard his uncle's question, he immediately replied seriously: "Uncle, our family has always been mainly engaged in the navy business, and has rarely been involved in the victory of the army. But as the empire has gained a foothold in China, we must rely on the imperial army to reap huge profits."
"After two years of planning, the family's business in China has gradually expanded, but we have never been able to get involved in the most profitable business. The family sent me here this time with the purpose of intervening in more business. The reason why my uncle was arranged in the 12th Army is because the entire Shanxi Province is very important. Its rich coal resources provide sufficient power for the empire's war machine!"
"But compared to the pharmaceutical business, these are nothing. The huge profits are self-evident. More importantly, we have opened up a transportation line for selling drugs to the outside world. If we can sell them to the outside world, the profits will be even greater. After all, there are wars all over the world, and the prices of drugs are rising skyrocketing every day. Anti-inflammatory drugs are life-saving medicines and have a broad market..."
Mitsui Ippei interrupted directly, "Okay, Taro! I understand what you mean. I'll leave this matter to you. However, this matter can't be concealed for long. I estimate that it can only be concealed for three or four months. By then, the headquarters will order an attack on Zhangjiazhuang Market. I require you to win over more than 20 allies within three days and eat up most of the medicines in Zhangjiazhuang Market. As for eating all of them, it will be too hateful, so we only need to eat %!"
"You will be in charge of the movement of supplies. Deliver them every ten days. I will then find a way to use transport planes to transport these medicines as supplies. This will definitely be done without anyone noticing. We can also win over more allies and expand our family's influence in the navy and army. This way, we can reap more profits in the near future!"
